Just recently I found a horrid picture in a frame at an op shop. I decided it would make a great inspiration board. I finished it and hung it in my bedroom. I can put my fav. vintage cards or doilies and trinkets on it to display!!!
My suburb is in the midst of a council collection week. So its clean out items you dont need, trim the shrubs and trees and throw out those unwanted TVs etc that are outdated. I have seen on other blogs girls who like to rummage and collect "hard rubbish". Ive done so too. Here are some of my finds!!!! the tablecloth and cutlery I got at an op shop last week.
Here are some recent finds. Hop over to Sophies Im combining a couple of weeks. Because Im always working and when I go op shoppong I dont find much. I scored a beautiful sage green chenille bedspread for $5. I got some more silverware and recently got a large frame which Im painting and fixing up.
My finds were from a weekend antiques Fair in Newcastle, NSW. I managed to pick a few things. I also love pink depression glass and havent photographed the lovely oval glass tray I got to match another I have. But the best deal was buying 50 vintage cards for $5, what a bargain!!! Check out Sophies for more finds this week. Here are my photos
Im trying to participate in Thift Shop Finds over at Sophies. I am behind a couple of weeks. I managed to get to some op shops and a garage sale. The finds are very "sewing" inspired. My favourite thing was getting a baby pair of pinking shears. Also I got some flannelette pre-cut squares and going to make a rag rug quilt with them!!!
I didnt have any this week but I have used some vintage buttons which I found at an op shopo in Gold Coast QLD in 2009. THey were on their original cards and some were plastic, pearl and glass. My favourite one are the crinoline lady. You can view more here
